According to Enneagram Theory, yes. Your wing is the next door neighbor for your main type.

For example, I tend to score highest for 4, followed by 1, then 5 on Enneagram tests. But, Enneagram theory has wings based on the number next to your main type, so I couldn't say that I am a 4w1. 5 is the next highest score, which is 4's next door neighbor. Hence, 4 with a 5 wing.

It's too bad I put so much focus on the profiles to start, when I should have looked at the basics first. If I narrow it down to their ego fixations - assuming you can type solely on them, it's far easier to come to some conclusion... mine would be the 4's melancholy and 5's stinginess - the former, without question. I might appear to have 9's indolence, but that is most likely due to my health issues which cause fatigue, so I can almost rule that out. And I don't feel that the 1's resentment has a hold on me.

Not surprising. I relate to type 1 a lot - especially their Holy Idea of perfection. Thank-you for the input.

Keep in mind, type 4s, when unhealthy, tend to be very melancholic, but when they are healthy, they can be capable of experiencing happiness to an intense level, and are very creative. And the creativity isn't just limited to creating art, even you can be a creative intellectually, getting involved in philosophy and/or science. Fours can be perfectionistic like ones, too, just less about morality, and more about self-actualization ("Who am I, what's my place in the world?" "How can I make a difference, yet remain authentic to my identity?"), and finding their perfect life partner for them ("I wish for my one true love to come to my rescue."). If you've felt like you're looking for a fairy tale ending, and if it doesn't happen, then you feel jealous that others seem to have it easier, chances are you're a 4.

I can relate a lot to type 1's idea of perfection too. Just I feel like my main motivation is to be creative in some shape or form.

Thanks for breaking things down, everything you said sounds a lot like me. And I think I might have a social/self-pres stacking, or the reverse, which would explain why I look a lot like a 1, according to this site. Although self-pres/sexual is a possibility as well.

Just occurred to me... it's probably important for me to point out that my social style online is not a good representation of my social style irl. I sound extremely 1ish because my main focus here is to discuss psychology - serious tunnel vision... and that makes me come off solemn and detached. Every minute I spend online, I prefer to make the most of; a fickle chit chat with some random stranger online doesn't qualify. I keep my socializing to irl encounters, which are more meaningful, imo. Typing me, based on the OP and asking me questions on my behavior, is the best bet, opposed to reading/determining my behavior based on my response style.
